Triple triumph for Weyermann® at Finest Beer Selection 2024!
The Weyermann® brew manufacture received three awards at the renowned Finest Beer Selection 2024 beer tasting. The Finest Beer Selection, the result of a renowned blind beer tasting, took place from June 11th to 13th, 2024 in Gräfelfing near Munich. A 50-member international jury of experts evaluates over 800 beers from 16 countries.
Weyermann® brew manufacture – Triple winner of the Finest Beer Selection 2024
For the second time in a row, Weyermann® No.1 Schlotfegerla®, a full-bodied, dark smoked beer with fine beech wood smoke notes and aromas of espresso, won. This classic impresses with a distinctive malt taste of dark chocolate and bread crust, so the experts awarded it 91 points.
The Weyermann® No. 74 IPAZero recieved 90 points earning an award at the competition for the first time. The orange, alcohol-free, top-fermented beer is characterized by an intense residual sweetness. The use of Weyermann® sour malt and sour wort as well as three additions of hops creates a slim mouthfeel with refreshing bitterness and a dry finish. Notes of pine, grapefruit and pepper round off the taste experience.
In addition to these two awards, a beer from the Bamberger Hofbräu® line, which has been part of the Weyermann® family and the brew manufacture since 2006, was also honored.
The Bamberger Hofbräu® Rauch completed the Franconian triumph with also 91 points. This amber to copper-colored Franconian beer specialty combines a fine smoke aroma with caramel malt notes of toffee, biscuit and honey. The subtle hop notes harmoniously complement the combination of smoke and sweetness.
Awards underline the brewing expertise at Weyermann®
The award ceremony took place on July 15th, 2024 in Neustadt an der Weinstraße. The awards underline the expertise of the Weyermann® brew manufacture.
